BIPOC Forum: Addressing Racial, Cultural, and Ethnic Intersect to Become a Stronger M/s Community-
For the past few years, MsC has opened up a forum so that those who are People of the Global Majority (BIPOC) can openly and honestly discuss the issues that affect them in the greater M/s communities with those who are not BIPOC and have pointedly extended an invitation to do so. However, there has been a shift in this country that most definitely affects marginalized people, especially the various groups under the BIPOC umbrella. Recent events have revealed a schism that begs to be addressed. This year, the forum is for those who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Asian, Middle Eastern, Hawaiian Native, Pasifika, South Asian, mixed heritage, etc.) to have a safe space to honestly and respectfully discuss some of the issues that continue to divide us in a spirit of community and kinship, in order to advance in unity to face the challenges ahead both in and out of the M/s communities.
